Vikings signed RB DuJuan Harris, formerly of the Packers, to a one-year contract.

A restricted free agent, Harris wasn't tendered a contract by the Pack. An MJD-esque 5-foot-8, 203 pounds, Harris has always offered bowling-ball appeal as a change-of-pace back, but has had trouble with injuries. Especially if the Vikings keep Adrian Peterson, Harris is going to have a hard time cracking Minnesota's crowded backfield. Mar 19 - 4:21 PM

The Packers are not tendering exclusive rights free agent RB DuJuan Harris a contract, making him a free agent.

Going on 27, Harris carried the ball 16 times last season, gaining 64 yards (4.0 YPC). He played just 51 snaps on offense. Harris missed all of 2013 with right-knee issues. A diminutive 5-foot-8, Harris has always offered some pop as a change-of-pace back, but wasn't going to be climbing the depth chart any time soon in Green Bay. Mar 9 - 7:03 PM

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Bob McGinn writes that DuJuan Harris has made a push for the Packers' No. 2 running back job, and "it's anyone's guess" if it's Harris or James Starks.

"That's a question that has yet to be determined," said RBs coach Sam Gash. Harris lost a fumble in the Pack's second preseason game. He came back and exploded for 98 yards on 14 touches in Friday's dress rehearsal against the Raiders. Harris and Starks mixed in with the second-team offense after Lacy left the game. Coach Mike McCarthy loved Harris before he ruptured his patellar tendon last August. It's a battle worth watching closely. Tue, Aug 26, 2014 08:49:00 AM

DuJuan Harris rushed 12 times for 56 yards and caught two passes for 42 yards in Friday's preseason game against the Raiders.

Coming off a ruptured patellar tendon, Harris was surprisingly quick and explosive. It's something coaches must have seen in practices, as he mixed with No. 2 back James Starks after Eddie Lacy left. Through three preseason games, Harris has 26 carries for 106 yards and five catches for 50 yards. If Lacy were to go down in the regular season, Harris appears to have earned a role.
